To the smallest talk channel fan base Sirius has to offer. Also the listener have no lives, no money and no lives, and best believe they won't be buying up your tickets. But hey, Opie!
He'll just fade into obscurity, doing horseshit radio that no one will listen to.
He probably thinks he'll get better guests because it's later in the day and there is no conflict with Howard. He's delusional - like he always has been.
The war won't be behind the scenes. Look at the Nick and Artie fight for a preview. Any passive aggressive bullshit towards Artie on a bad day and the grapes incident -- "Leave it alone..." -- will seem like a friendly disagreement.
I'm pretty unfamiliar with Artie, never listened to Stern until after his decline. I really hope you're right and Artie just steals another show from Tits.
Artie in his prime was even funnier than Norton. I'm programmed to hate everything related to Stern, and I laugh my balls off whenever I hear an Artie clip
Thank God I never fell into that "fuck Howard" camp that Opie & Anthony brainwashed some of their listeners with. As much as I liked O&A in their prime it was never even slightly close to the greatness of Stern in his prime.
I wonder what Sirius sees in him. I mean have they checked out his youtube channel and the amount of dislikes he gets? Do people still genuinely listen to him? This only brings up so many questions.
Agreed. In fact, Opie paying Sirius to show up wouldn't be worth it to Sirius. He's anti-funny. I mean, he literally made a show with Jim Norton unbearable and i love lill yimmy. Sirius must be run by complete fucking morons.... period.
I said a few days ago that Opie would probably go to afternoons and Jim and Sam would have the morning show. My take was that Sirius didn't love Opie, but it was more trouble to get rid of him than to keep him.
Say what you will, but it's still a channel that reliably creates content for Sirius, and people still know who Opie is. If they got rid of him, the entire channel and the staff would collapse unless they could cobble together a new identity for it. Would you want that workload? The other option is that you create a situation where there is suddenly less content for your subscribers, and no one wants that smear on their record. Sirius is a company running on inertia and brand names; is it that surprising that Opie is still around? They don't care about "good radio." It probably explains why Opie is so obsessed with going viral or being relevant on Twitter. In his mind, he probably thinks it gives him some great leverage in negotiations. The other reason is that he's a prima donna.
Remember what Jimmy said. Sirius did research on Jimmy, and found he was as valuable as Opie. Not more valuable, but equal at least. Opie's fans don't exist here, but the clearly exist elsewhere. I'm not psyched he's still on the channel, but at least now Jimmy and Sam can operate without him influencing the show, and the guy probably has less power around the office if Sirius cut his pay and gave him a time slot they don't care about.
Jim made very clear he wanted to be completely without influence from Opie if he were to stay at the company. And so now ... they're going to have to stay on opie's 'channel'?
I want Opie to be neutered. The pay decrease is good. As you say it's only due to inertia that they'd leave his channel name and brand up. But I want him to be seriously cut down, like a renaming of the channel to something neutral so it's clear that Jim and Sam aren't under opie's "umbrella"
But Jimmy is known on radio because of his working relationship with Opie and Anthony. Where else was he going to go, Rawdog? Ron at least has a good relationship with producer Wickland to not have gotten completely fucked on his move there, but Jimmy doesn't have that kind of pull. If he got moved to Rawdog or anywhere else, he'd be paid in the same range as Dennis Falcone.
As much as I don't like saying it, Opie staying around is a net good if you like Jimmy, Sam, Erock, or anyone on staff on the channel. Maybe some people on here would be okay with the channel imploding, but I think the joy would be short-lived.
Maybe in the next couple of years the identity of the channel can grow and overshadow what Opie brings to the table. If celebrities prefer going on the morning show, or Jim and Sam get more buzz than Opie, then Sirius will notice those things and realize his brand doesn't carry the weight they thought. Even Howard took a pay cut, so I'll be the first to say brands aren't everything to the execs.
I agree with most of what you say in a Machiavellian sense but it would be better to see Jim find a way to swing his weight and demand that he be dissociated from Opie.
As Jim said recently, he payed enough credit to O&A for helping his career and at this point the comedy and 'talent' he brings to the table speaks for itself and doesn't need to be linked to the tutelage of being Opie's padawan. Jim should really drive this home and see if he can start something on his own to really divorce himself from Opie.
Jim IS a brand. He seems to have grown a backbone and asserted as much in the comments in 9/28 and 9/29 Sam Roberts show. I don't think Jim needs a few more years, he especially
and Sam as well have created an identity. With some producer support in SXM they can get the guests. If they allow this to happen what they have allowed is Opie's corporate socipoathic maneuvering to enable him (Gregg) to 'win', yet again.
Say what you will, but it's still a channel that reliably creates content for Sirius, and people still know who Opie is.
I really don't think they do. If they changed it to "Norton Radio" they would get more people coming in and have larger awareness overall. Opie is not a known person, and the people who know him don't particularly like him. The ones who pretend to like him will jump ship for a better opportunity in a second (Race Wars, My Wife Hates Me, etc.) The channel doesn't create the content. The people who do the shows make the content. I bet you anything if Jimmy for 5 minutes actually stopped grovelling and had a shred of fucking confidence he could stack the channel with people he knows and make it great. What pisses me off the most about Jimmy is how he could be a powerhouse if he stopped being such a fucking worm.
I agree, I don't believe Opie is well know person outside of the O&A universe. Google News is my home page, so all week I typed in Opie to see what turned up & besides some blogging sites nothing showed up, the entertainment section of Google News reports on the smallest of stories of even little known reality stars. The fact that Opie might of been fired or quit & no one in the media bothered to cover it says it all. Just look at the media coverage of Howard re-signing & even Mad Dog had decent press but apparently no one give a shit about Opie.
I really hope this is not the case. Artie is going to grind through it for the paycheck. I'm not even going to listen to see the cringe fest. Boy does this board have fresh meat...
Artie's last grind working for a paycheck resulted in a drug binge, a bottle of bleach and a steak knife. If Opie thinks Lil Jimmy was a loose cannon, just wait til he has to reel in the baby gorilla.
Wow, those hallways at Sirius XM are gonna get real awkward next week.
So he got his afternoon slot, but his replay time is going to fuck Sam and Jim out of a regular morning slot? Sirius once again shows their lack of anything appearing to be intelligence.
Unless Jim and Sam are on a different channel. Which would be even worse planning. I don't see how this is anything else other than Opie being shitty about the start time for their show.
That replay better end at 8am. The would probably cut down the content or commercial breaks to make it only 3 hours.
My guess is that this is a baby step towards moving the replay and eventually taking Opie's name off the channel.
It would be great if Jim and Sam moved to a different channel. It would make it so much easier for SiriusXM to shut the whole channel down without collateral damage.
I recall Jim saying on the 9/28 show with Sam that he didn't even want to be on the same channel as Opie. If he remains there it will be a victory for Gregg.
Good. I enjoy coming on here to see the reports of him making an ass of out himself. All of our lives would feel a little emptier if this shithead went away.
No. I would like him to burn his bridges and flood social media with attempts at being relevant, showing how butthurt and alone he is. He could never make a side project like Ant has. He has to piggyback off of both a corporate network AND other talent to fill his talent gaps. Without Ant and Jim he has poached Artie Lang. It's the same fucking story, and as with Anthony and Jim it's going to be the same story of Artie deciding he's fucking had enough and isn't going to put up with it at a point.
Fuck this retarded frat boy. He couldn't just walk away and let talented people start something fresh. I had it planned out in my mind already. Jim & Sam in the morning, with Bennington on in the afternoons. The rest of the schedule could have been plugged with replays and new mini-shows with talent picked out by Sam, Jimmy and Ronnie B. I would have gladly subscribed to that channel. Of course Opies ego wouldn't allow him to let a channel with his name on it go away. Fuck him and his retarded "stable of (hacky) comics". I hope Sirius quickly realizes that the morning show is far more popular, and they put him out on his ass mid-contract. Fucking booooooo
Never gonna happen. Unless you are lucky enough to have a 9am job, or drive for a living, (or not have a job)...they just aren't going to get listeners. 6am-8am is the prime morning spot. Opie completely fucked them over.
I really can't believe this is happening. I fucking waited from December to October for this event, to see Jim leave and what happens.. and it's fucking THIS?
Well this sucks I know we want more jocktober stuff but this mean I will not hear j & S on the way to work cuz they start at 8 or the way back home cuz I have to hear this fag opie
I thought the same thing, not as a joke. Artie will force himself to stay for the paycheck and will promptly return to drugs to deal with being with Gregg. Gregg will give a bunch of "heartfelt" comments and here and there let slip that he doesn't give a shit and it's Artie's fault for being weak.
Why. Why is this guy allowed to continue doing this?
Sure. Opie and his dull self talking about how his in-laws came over for dessert or some other boring, pointless story. He's awful and should just retire.
What kind of motherfucker listens just for Opie? No one. That's why he got canned despite his desperate attempts to cover his inadequacies with sub-par dim wit "comics" like Sherrie small who is just as stale.
Every other sentence Opie utters is "What the fuck." Every other sentence Sherrod says is "What about the puss?" So cringey and just awful.
I'm embarrassed to even admit that I used to listen to the show. Glad Opie is no longer in the mornings and hopefully he will just quietly fade away like he never even existed.
To be fair, Jones has been playing the game longer... and his stuff is free. And you can get funny stuff anywhere, but Alex Jones has the corner market on that particular brand of mental illness.
I wonder how they rationalize being a show targeted at morning drive time listeners and starting at a time that they'll lose most east coast commuters.
Yeah, I listen online later so it doesn't matter to me, but this seems like it'll be a tough spot... and starting late for the end of 5am replay? That's not going to cause any friction
I guess now all that we can do is hold out hope that Opie is involved in a disfiguring car accident sometime between now and the morning of the fourth.
So he doesnt have a cohost or anything? lol what the fuck is he gonna say? and celebs arent around at that time doing radio...lol this is gonna be a disaster I can't wait.
Well that is absolutle bullshit....starting Jimmy and Sam at 8am screws thw audience. 7am would be fine so mucg better. I hate that talentless fuck Opie
Calm the fuck down and see that the glass is half full. We now have the 3 in their own individual silos. A year (or less) from now, we won't see this. This is lining up to be an even better flame out. Play the long game with me.
Wow me and my kewl 18-35 year old male friends aren't listening to nelly or puff daddy were listening to Opie radio! Opie is definitely going to be the talked about at all the coffee and hookah bars today! Tots cool beans my man!
"humiliated and exposed as a back-stabbing, two-faced, lying cunt for all the world to see, yet still employed (at a fraction of his previous salary). back-burner'ed on his own channel, barely more than an afterthought"
He will not take this de-pantsing well, and luckily, he lacks the intelligence to take subtle digs at Jimmy and Sam. So we should get some decent Tits-fucking from time to time, when he flaps his stupid gums about them and they fire back.
You know Tits is going to keep tabs on every guest, and notice who's doing J&S more, and will bitch about that, too.
It's the most wonderful time of the year...
Obscene, gross online posts
To worthless dipshit hosts
'Til they break down in tears.
It's the most wonderful time of the year.
FUCK. I wanted him to be gone but he just dug his own grave. I guess I have to wait for his firing now, but at least when that one comes he'll have truly ZERO people to blame but his own shitty, unfunny, double-D self.
Is Artie the type of guy that can stand opies shit for more than 5 consecutive days? He seems like the type that can explode and snap on opie on air the 5th time opie says "hold on hold on" in one day.
Plus he seems like the kind of guy that is eternally grateful to Howard. He has to be aware of opies past with him
I really can't believe this is happening. I fucking waited from December to October for this event, to see Jim leave and what happens.. and it's fucking THIS?
I thought the same thing, not as a joke. Artie will force himself to stay for the paycheck and will promptly return to drugs to deal with being with Gregg. Gregg will give a bunch of "heartfelt" comments and here and there let slip that he doesn't give a shit and it's Artie's fault for being weak.

You don't think it's great that when you're driving to work you'll be able to listen to the exact same show that you heard driving home yesterday?

FAWK YEAH SHERROD AND VIC ARE SO NICE YOU GOTTA HEAR EM TWICE!
11 RacistPigeon 2016-09-30
So he got his afternoon slot, but his replay time is going to fuck Sam and Jim out of a regular morning slot? Sirius once again shows their lack of anything appearing to be intelligence.
3 xBrianSmithx 2016-09-30
Unless Jim and Sam are on a different channel. Which would be even worse planning. I don't see how this is anything else other than Opie being shitty about the start time for their show.
That replay better end at 8am. The would probably cut down the content or commercial breaks to make it only 3 hours.
My guess is that this is a baby step towards moving the replay and eventually taking Opie's name off the channel.
4 LatinoComedian 2016-09-30
It would be great if Jim and Sam moved to a different channel. It would make it so much easier for SiriusXM to shut the whole channel down without collateral damage.
2 jarjarjelly 2016-09-30
I recall Jim saying on the 9/28 show with Sam that he didn't even want to be on the same channel as Opie. If he remains there it will be a victory for Gregg.
1 bornrevolution 2016-09-30
what's the regular morning slot? i've never listened to O&A/J live before but the Jim & Sam shows have been 8-11am so far haven't they?
9 dan21610 2016-09-30
Good. I enjoy coming on here to see the reports of him making an ass of out himself. All of our lives would feel a little emptier if this shithead went away.

2 jarjarjelly 2016-09-30
No. I would like him to burn his bridges and flood social media with attempts at being relevant, showing how butthurt and alone he is. He could never make a side project like Ant has. He has to piggyback off of both a corporate network AND other talent to fill his talent gaps. Without Ant and Jim he has poached Artie Lang. It's the same fucking story, and as with Anthony and Jim it's going to be the same story of Artie deciding he's fucking had enough and isn't going to put up with it at a point.
1 bonniesretardsister 2016-09-30

6 cakehornnigga 2016-09-30
Fuck this retarded frat boy. He couldn't just walk away and let talented people start something fresh. I had it planned out in my mind already. Jim & Sam in the morning, with Bennington on in the afternoons. The rest of the schedule could have been plugged with replays and new mini-shows with talent picked out by Sam, Jimmy and Ronnie B. I would have gladly subscribed to that channel. Of course Opies ego wouldn't allow him to let a channel with his name on it go away. Fuck him and his retarded "stable of (hacky) comics". I hope Sirius quickly realizes that the morning show is far more popular, and they put him out on his ass mid-contract. Fucking booooooo
4 ptb4life 2016-09-30
Never gonna happen. Unless you are lucky enough to have a 9am job, or drive for a living, (or not have a job)...they just aren't going to get listeners. 6am-8am is the prime morning spot. Opie completely fucked them over.
2 jarjarjelly 2016-09-30
I really can't believe this is happening. I fucking waited from December to October for this event, to see Jim leave and what happens.. and it's fucking THIS?

2 UpInSmoke1 2016-09-30
Sirius will throw the tiniest bit of money at anything that doesn't cause bad publicity/headaches. Quality is not a concern.
2 VladiRad 2016-09-30
Except even that doesn't apply to Opie. One of his sociopathic videos goes viral every few months.
6 FaggotBannedKeith 2016-09-30
Opie being responsible for Artie's relapse/death will end up being even better than him just scurrying away into retirement.
7 jarjarjelly 2016-09-30
I thought the same thing, not as a joke. Artie will force himself to stay for the paycheck and will promptly return to drugs to deal with being with Gregg. Gregg will give a bunch of "heartfelt" comments and here and there let slip that he doesn't give a shit and it's Artie's fault for being weak.
Why. Why is this guy allowed to continue doing this?
6 DanisRibs 2016-09-30
Siriusxm really brought out the big guns to reveal the new shows - a couple of tweet replies from a support account.
5 Jimandthem 2016-09-30

5 x_003 2016-09-30

Nah, we got a week of Opie freaking out plus more material to shit on. It's the best of both worlds.
4 schmuckOnWheels 2016-09-30
Who has bigger tits, Artie or Opie?
5 SpaceCaseBassFace 2016-09-30
Artie has a better rack and he can use space between his cleavage and gut to hide quarters and bags of heroin.
4 helmet098 2016-09-30

4 PDNYFL 2016-09-30
Sirius can track listeners now, right? They will be in for a shock.
4 andrealeenyc 2016-09-30
Sure. Opie and his dull self talking about how his in-laws came over for dessert or some other boring, pointless story. He's awful and should just retire.
What kind of motherfucker listens just for Opie? No one. That's why he got canned despite his desperate attempts to cover his inadequacies with sub-par dim wit "comics" like Sherrie small who is just as stale.
Every other sentence Opie utters is "What the fuck." Every other sentence Sherrod says is "What about the puss?" So cringey and just awful.
I'm embarrassed to even admit that I used to listen to the show. Glad Opie is no longer in the mornings and hopefully he will just quietly fade away like he never even existed.
3 insertclevereference 2016-09-30
Seems "Ben" from customer care knows more about what's happening than the talent themselves. Give that guy a C-level promotion!

When the show was suspended in 2007 they pulled the same shit.

I wonder how they rationalize being a show targeted at morning drive time listeners and starting at a time that they'll lose most east coast commuters.
3 philtheprince 2016-09-30
Yeah, I listen online later so it doesn't matter to me, but this seems like it'll be a tough spot... and starting late for the end of 5am replay? That's not going to cause any friction

2 joomommyhappy 2016-09-30
This is the best possible outcome.
"humiliated and exposed as a back-stabbing, two-faced, lying cunt for all the world to see, yet still employed (at a fraction of his previous salary). back-burner'ed on his own channel, barely more than an afterthought"
He will not take this de-pantsing well, and luckily, he lacks the intelligence to take subtle digs at Jimmy and Sam. So we should get some decent Tits-fucking from time to time, when he flaps his stupid gums about them and they fire back.
You know Tits is going to keep tabs on every guest, and notice who's doing J&S more, and will bitch about that, too.
That'll be more Tits-fucking.
It should be great.
